Reviews

This book is simply sublime. What an amazing gift book, and what an addition to a child's library. David Roberts' transformation of this classic tale is outstanding, and has brought a totally different experience of The Wind in the Willows to old sceptic me - librarymice.com blogger

In this sumptuous new gift edition, award-winning illustrator David Roberts puts his own distinctive spin on a much-loved classic. Roberts' atmospheric, richly-coloured illustrations perfectly capture the timeless, wistful feel of Kenneth Grahame's text, and his animal characters are appealingly quirky and eccentric. A beautiful new edition of a favourite book to read together and to treasure. - www.booktrust.org.uk
